Chapter 100: Familiar Strangers

An Feng pursed his mouth and asked in the direction of the operating room: "So, what about her?" ”

Professor Tom shook his head and teasedly, "What do you think bone replacement surgery is?" It takes another spring and summer for farmers to sow corn and harvest it in the fall. We're just creating man, creating a whole new human being, something like that...... I guess it will take at least two or three years for her to recover. You have plenty of time to prepare. ”

An Feng sighed: "Okay then, we can start." ”

Two surgeries are going to be performed at the same time today...... In fact, there were three sessions, one was a cranial operation on a female subject, one was a rescue operation on another male subject, and one was an An Feng's genetic orthopedic surgery. Cranial surgery is delicate, normal surgery must be performed in a completely sterile condition, and all those involved in the operation wear respirators to avoid infecting the patient with the breath from the mouth.

During the operation, Professor Tom took the opportunity to transfer the three groups of people, and no one knew that one of the students was missing, and no one knew which group An Feng went to.

For Dr. Tom, he had made a lot of money for this operation, and he had planned to arrange for an hourly monitor, but unexpectedly, the monitor volunteered to be a test subject - he had another living test material.

And for An Feng, he doesn't suffer either. In his lifetime, the technology for genetic repair surgery was close to taking shape. At that time, people's doubts about this technology were mostly at the sociological level, the moral level, as well as the humanities, religion, and so on. This means that of all Professor Tom's scientific experiments, this technique is the most mature. Now that he can get genetic correction in advance without spending a penny or effort, An Feng feels that it is worth it.

As for the various awesomeness of female test subjects...... An Feng feels that wisdom is sometimes more powerful than strength, and for strength, his strength is enough, and there is no need to make himself a ghost in order to pursue absolute power.

Mature technology is indeed different from experimental technology, and the latter still needs to be explored. Fine-tuning is continuous, and mature technology has summarized a set of specifications, as long as they are implemented step by step according to the specifications. For example, after the operation, An Feng can also be arranged by Dr. Tom to sit next to the female patient when he gets out of bed and moves his body, and when the female patient is unconscious, he makes a careful care appearance. On the other hand, the condition of female patients has been good and bad.

After a year and a half, An Feng's surgery was successfully completed. During this time in the underground laboratory, his classmates didn't notice that An Feng only occasionally appeared on the ground, and they all thought that the professor had arranged a lot of duty work and involved this diligent classmate. Argyle and Kelly think so, too. Because An Feng is really diligent, in the interval between operations, he not only has to go to the bed of the female test subject to pretend, but also use all the rest time, a year later, he successfully obtained the nurse diploma, and the corresponding practice qualification certificate At the beginning of the new year, he thought about the neurologist qualification again......

An Feng has been very busy and fulfilling in the past year and a half. Perhaps as a result of genetic modification surgery, his memory has been greatly improved, and he is now a panoramic memory, sweeping at a glance, and his vision is everywhere, far and near targets are included in the fundus. After the brain is working quickly, the important content is filtered one by one and engraved in the heart and mind.

In contrast, the physical condition of the female test subject fluctuated several times. Initially, after the total bone exchange surgery, the female subject's muscles and bones were slowly integrated, and after the cranial surgery, the female subject suffered from partial memory loss, the brain could not control the muscles normally, and the female test subject suffered from muscle atrophy due to prolonged bed rest...... Professor Tom and Natasha are among the world's top scientists, and they have overcome obstacles one by one to guide the female subject to a normal state of recovery.

A year later, the memory chip technology was researched, the female subject underwent chip implantation surgery, and the memories compiled by Professor Tom began to be infused into the female subject's mind...... This also means that An Feng can officially take up his post.

In the last half a year, An Feng really recuperated his body, don't you say, the world's top life science research institute, for the development of physical skills, is indeed not comparable to the Finnish alpine school, the former is the accumulation of experience in the previous year, the latter is systematic scientific research, the two are compared, it is simply not the same kind of substance.

A year and a half later, three semesters later, An Feng returned to New York and took up a job in a hospital to which Susanna, a female test subject, was transferred as An Feng's patient.

It is a private hospital and has very few patients due to the lack of access to health insurance. However, this hospital is very famous for its post-illness rehabilitation, and many wealthy people who have undergone serious illness surgery often transfer to this hospital for rehabilitation treatment at their own expense. It was under this circumstance that An Feng and Suzanne were arranged, and Susanna's previous cases were all fake, according to the medical records: Suzanne was treated in a non-existent hospital, and then her father paid for her admission to this rehabilitation hospital for post-illness rehabilitation.

Susanna's father is still her, his father is a high-ranking intelligence official, and her family is an intelligence family, so she knows the inside story of the Life Science Research Institute. Knowing that his daughter was seriously injured and had little chance of survival, the father, who loved his daughter, found Dr. Tom through a relationship, and the operation was born.

In the West, human trials are forbidden, so the operation cannot be made public, and in order to save his daughter, Comto, who is willing to do anything, can only agree to Dr. Tom's request, keep it all absolutely confidential, and completely obey Dr. Tom's arrangement. After the operation, Suzanne was resurrected in her original state, and Camtho was able to continue to be a father and continue to show his fatherly love to his daughter, but he could not explain the truth to her. Not at all.

Dr. Tom's experience with Suzanne is arranged as follows: Suzanne used to be a small-town police officer, and her boyfriend was Kane Ann, who was seriously injured during a duty trip and was rescued by doctors and was able to wake up, but because of the severe injury, she lost part of her memory and paralyzed her body, and was arranged by her father to be admitted to a rehabilitation hospital for follow-up treatment. Her boyfriend, Kane, followed her to the rehabilitation hospital in New York to continue caring for Susanna, who was seriously ill.

Suzanne woke up on a sunny spring day, and she had woken up briefly before, but she couldn't hold on for ten seconds, and before she could observe her surroundings, she fell asleep again. This time she woke up, the scene in front of her gradually became clear, she saw herself lying in front of the window in a Yu Jing ward, a handsome man sitting in front of the window gently turning the pages, the man looked serene, with an indescribable quiet smell on his body, for a while, Suzanne felt that the man was beautiful, everything in front of her was beautiful.

Lying quietly for a while, Suzanne felt refreshed, this time she was not in a coma, she felt as if she had slept for a long time, and when she woke up, she was tired and comfortable. In a few moments, Susanna's will took complete control of her body, and after a long period of training, she woke up something that had soaked into her bones, and she moved her fingers slightly, feeling that she could control her fingers, and even her arms. She moved her legs slightly.

Okay, this body is very obedient, it has not been confined and can get up and move. Suzanne then snorted softly.

When Suzanne moved her fingers, An Feng had already noticed her awakening - three months ago, the external pacemaker stopped, and the rehabilitation hospital tried to make Susanna's heart beat on her own; Two months ago, the forced respirator was discontinued and the patient began to breathe spontaneously; A month ago, the nerve conduction assist was discontinued, and the patient began to roll over slightly during sleep; Three weeks ago, the patient's brain chip had been integrated into its own nerve conduction system, and the patient had a dream; Two weeks ago, the hospital began to reduce the dosage of sleeping pills, the patient developed a mild migraine, the muscle massager has begun to be discontinued, and the patient has not experienced muscle atrophy......

All of these measures are designed to prepare the patient for resuscitation today. Three days ago, the patient underwent a general examination, the sleeping pills were completely stopped, two days ago the effect of the sleeping pills completely passed, after which the patient was in a habitual sleep, and this inertia will be spontaneously broken by the patient within two or three days...... Just now, the patient finally woke up.

An Feng didn't disturb the other party's small movements, he is now playing an ordinary person, and ordinary doctors and nurses are not so sensitive to the sound of the outside world. So An Feng continued to flip the book, but the movement of turning the book slowed down and lightened.

Hearing Susanna's snort, An Feng looked up at the hospital bed, he was obviously startled, and then showed ecstasy: "Susanna, you're awake."

Suzanne did not change her name. Human subconsciously, they are particularly sensitive to the audio signals of their own names and surnames, and their loved ones, and can accurately identify the calls of acquaintances in the hundreds of millions of noisy sounds on the streets of Wall Street. An Feng's character is a stranger forcibly instilled into Susanna's consciousness, if Susanna's name is changed again, maybe this call will be completely strange to Susanna.

Hearing the call, Suzanne frowned, feeling that the call was familiar—it was familiar with her name, but she always felt that something was wrong. But before she opened her mouth to ask, An Feng had already shown all kinds of surprises and all kinds of care.

The doctor was called, and a large number of doctors brought medical assistants to Suzanne to conduct various examinations, Suzanne tried to speak several times but did not find a chance, and soon, Comto, who had been waiting on the side, arrived, for her father, Susanna's memory still ...... Now that her father is here, Suzanne simply doesn't have to think about it and quietly accepts the doctor's examination. Waiting for the doctor to roar away, the ward was empty, An Feng diligently moved the chair and asked Kang Mu to sit down, Kang Mu looked at An Feng before sitting down, and felt that this young man was not bad, he didn't say anything, sat in front of the hospital bed and took his daughter's hand, and comforted his daughter softly.

Suzanne glanced at An Feng, who was left in the ward, and whispered, "Can I be alone with my father for a while?" ”

Comto gave her daughter a loving look and interjected, "Susanna, this is your boyfriend Kane Ann, you have been in a coma for a month, thanks to Kane for taking care of you. ”

"I, my boyfriend ......" Suzanne looked at An Feng in disbelief, the other party was very young, only many years old. This, this is obviously a young man who has not yet worked. She couldn't help but blurt out: "How could I be so ...... How come I don't remember? ”

In a trance, a memory drifted through Susanna's mind, as if she had suddenly arrived on a yacht, and the boy driving the yacht turned his face and smiled brightly at her. The boy threw down the steering wheel, smiled at her, and then put his hand around her, and then she felt very happy, and a heartfelt joy welled up in her heart, and she seemed to see that she was smiling happily......

Countless similar images pass by Susanna's eyes, which are a little fragmented, but they are all scenes of her intimacy and love with the boy opposite. This scene was very strange to Susanna, but she felt ...... As it should be.

Human emotions are the most complex thing, and the chip implanted in Susanna's mind can be instilled, but not emotional. So Dr. Tom deliberately poured in fragmented memories, so that the other party could add emotions to himself in the constant recollection. At this time, Suzanne was very familiar with An Feng in her memories, but these memories did not carry the slightest emotion. She reads the memories in her head like a bystander, over and over again.

An Feng's long-term care, after all, left a little subconscious in the other party's memory, in Susanna's memories, An Feng's image gradually became vivid - the vivid part is An Feng's care, in her memory, every time she woke up briefly, the boy always sat on the edge of his bed, silently reading, silently taking care of himself.

A warm current surged into her heart, and Suzanne said softly to An Feng: "Kane, can you ⊥ me alone with my father for a while?" ”

An Feng stood up and said goodbye with a gentle smile. When he left the ward, Suzanne couldn't wait to ask her father, "Father, what's going on, what's going on with me...... I feel like the past is blurry, and I have a headache...... No, father, don't call the doctor, I'm just ...... I can't remember a lot of things. ”

Compass whispered a few words of comfort and said, "Remember how you got hurt?" ”

Suzanne frowned, trying to recall, "Fire, fire...... It was like a big explosion and my head hurts."

Suzanne hugged her head, and Camtou immediately hugged her daughter in her arms and comforted: "Child, don't think about it if you can't think about it, we have time, you think about it slowly, we have a lot of time." ”

Suzanne calmed down and asked, "Father, tell me what's wrong, what's wrong with me?" ”

"You're a policeman, and you're seriously injured in the operation to catch the terrorists, yes, it's a big explosion."

"I remember that there were people around me, and ...... my companion when the explosion happened?"

"You're in front of her, he's hurt less than you, but you're recovering better than him. Now he is in another rehabilitation hospital and has not yet woken up.

"How did I get to the scene of the explosion, why can't I remember?"

"Child, you are very badly injured, it is the spring of 2003, it is a miracle that you were able to wake up, thank God you are still alive. Your brain is damaged, and the doctor told me you might have memory loss, but ...... If you can't remember the past, don't think about it, we have a lot of time. You need to recover now, you need to get back on your feet......"

Kang Mutou came to endorse An Feng, and his appearance was to confirm An Feng's identity.

It is often said that women in love have low IQs, and spoiled women are simple. There is no other reason, and absolute trust makes her unconditionally choose to believe instead of thinking actively. Life is too tiring and work is too hard, so many strong women who are shrewd and strong in the business field and see through the most clever business tricks and fraud at a glance, but they can't see their husbands stealing people outside to pack a mistress. So much so that after the matter was exposed, people were incredible: how could such a shrewd woman be deceived by her stupid husband for a moment.

An Feng now needs to get Susanna's absolute trust, as long as Suzanne believes it, as long as this trust is maintained, then no matter how shrewd Suzanne is on the outside, how wise and smart she is, in front of An Feng is a mentally handicapped young girl, An Feng can get the other party's automatic brain supplement for anything.

For Comto, An Feng's presence is absolutely necessary. In order to survive, my daughter has done unprecedented scientific experiments, and there is a professional who is familiar with the experimental procedures by her side, who can be closely observed at any time, and in case of accidents, there are remedies, right? As for the daughter's relationship with this guy...... Dr. Tom had promised him that this would happen naturally, and that it would not be forced.

A new race is born, and technology is one thing. Now that the technology has matured, scientists are more concerned about the sociality of this new human being, which must be smoothly integrated into this society and have an auxiliary role in human evolution, in order to gain the tacit approval and support of the public. An Feng's existence is for this, and Compass has figured it out. Among all the living beings, he wanted to know most whether this daughter was still the original Susanna, whether she had the original emotions, and the original ...... Human nature.

Therefore, for concealing his daughter's condition, it is a good thing to ⊥ his daughter to recover slowly. He was happy to endorse An Feng, so according to the plot designed by Dr. Tom, he explained An Feng's origin in 1510.

"I don't know how you met, you were seriously injured and transferred to three hospitals, when I first went to the hospital, your police colleagues introduced him to your boyfriend, and then he has been accompanying you to various hospitals, and now this rehabilitation hospital is also introduced by Kane, I just have to pay. Haha, it seems that this hospital is very good, at least you are recovering better than your partner, who is still in a vegetative state.

Kane? I remember he was studying medicine, and I checked him...... Please forgive your father, my professional habits make me always want to know who my daughter's boyfriend is. The file shows that he is very smart, a Connecticut, and he entered the college speed class at the age of 16 in all academic grades since he was a child, and he was interning in the hospital when you were seriously injured, and his colleagues sent you to the hospital where he was, and he has taken care of you until now.

You've had countless surgeries and you've been transferred to three hospitals, all of which he found. He's always there for you, and I still have a job...... Well, that's all I know. Don't think so much, child, as you recover, the memory will slowly recover. Even if it doesn't recover, it's nothing, you remember my father, I'm already satisfied. ”

"Father, I, I remember my mother......"

"I've called your mother and told her the details of your awakening, and she's in Paris now, on vacation with her new husband."

Suzanne pressed her forehead, and she struggled to recall her past, and found that the memories of her childhood were very clear, but the memories of her childhood were very vague. Suzanne is not surprised if this is the case, but she finds that although she has lost some of her adult memories, she can clearly remember what she has learned, and a lot of college knowledge flashes in her mind, and it is so familiar. I still remember the clip from college, but I can't remember the face of a classmate.

She also found that her senses seemed to be extra acute, and she could hear An Feng's phone ringing in the hallway—as soon as the phone rang, she accurately judged that it was An Feng's phone. Immediately after, An Feng's calm voice sounded - but the voice was very unfamiliar, and Susanna's memory had no effect at all.

An Feng's English was very standard, without a single accent or slang, and he was answering to the person on the phone: "Yes, it's me...... Great, I didn't expect us to be able to get in touch with ...... Okay, I'll rush over right away, you wait for me. ”

At this time, Compass said to his daughter lovingly, "Child, you have woken up for the first time for such a long time, don't bother so much, and sleep a little longer." ”

"No, father, you said I've been sleeping for a month, I want to get up and take a walk", Suzanne wanted to go to the corridor to see what An Feng was doing.

At this time, An Feng's phone was full of joy: "Yes, I'm also very happy......"

Susanna's attention focused on An Feng, and in a trance, she suddenly heard An Feng's voice on the phone, it was a woman's voice, and the language seemed to be Chinese English, she seemed very excited on the phone, chattering: "You don't know how difficult it is for me to find you, I called your school, the first time the school said that there was no such person, it was I who insisted on letting them check, and they replied that I was in the research institute, and the institute forbade mobile phone calls."

Later, when I changed my landline and used the phone in my apartment in the United States, they would answer me, saying that you were already in the lab and would not be able to come out until a few months. I kept calling and calling, and they always said that you were not there, and it was useless to leave the phone...... What the hell are you doing?

Later, I finally found one of your classmates, and only then did I get the exact news from you, they said that you graduated early and entered the research institute to work, and the institute is a confidential institution, and it is often half a year to do research......

Later, every time I came to the United States, I called that number, and they finally gave me another phone number a few days ago, and I checked it, and this phone number was not registered......"

Out of the corner of her eye, Suzanne caught a glimpse of her father preparing to ring the summoning bell, and she hurriedly organized her father: "No, father, I can get up." ”

She was only half-sitting up, Suzanne felt dizzy, the scene in front of her shook, she held on to the head of the bed and gasped, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Comtou hurried over to help, and for a moment, Suzanne suddenly couldn't hear the voice on the phone, and her father was shouting, "Kane, Kane, Suzanne remembers." ”

I don't want Kane to know—Suzanne lamented in her heart.

"I'll talk to you ......" An Feng in the corridor hurriedly hung up the phone, and immediately, the sound of running sounded.
